Space Station Research Facilities and Capabilities

The Space Station has a variety of multidisciplinary laboratory facilities and equipment available to support the National Laboratory operations. These capabilities have been built by NASA and its International Partners and can be made available on a time-shared basis to other US government agencies and private entities to pursue their own mission driven research and applications on the space station. Shared utilization of these capabilities will be detailed in negotiated agreements with NASA and/or the sponsoring International Partner agency.
